Former Blizzard Boss Says Battlefield 6 Will ‘Boot Stomp’ Call of Duty This Year

Expert Verified By

BF6 To Outperform COD This Year!

Story Highlight
  • Battlefield 6’s early access has surprised everyone in a good way.
  • Now, former Blizzard boss believes that the title wil boot-stomp CoD this year.
  • He further says that COD has gone downhill over the past years, and the BF6 release will force them to change.

Battlefield 6 is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of the year. The game’s early access began just two days ago, and within two hours, the servers were filled with over 300K players waiting in the queue to play. 

While Activision has recently claimed that Call of Duty is too big to die and they don’t take Battlefield 6 as a threat, a former Blizzard boss has tweeted that Battlefield 6 will boot-stomp COD this year.

Why it matters: DICE has also admitted that the previous entry was disappointing in the franchise, and the developers have done their best to meet fans’ expectations with the latest release.

Recently, former Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra tweeted that he believes Battlefield 6 will outperform COD this year. 

However, he further states that the real win here is that it will force Call of Duty to finally work harder and not be lazy anymore, which will ultimately get better FPS games for the genre franchise.

Ybarra talked about how the Call of Duty franchise has gone downhill for years, and finally, the release of Battlefield 6 will force them to change.

CoD has gone downhill for years since then. It’s a mess. Cheating, heavy UI/install, rainbow colors. People are sick of it. Luckily BF will force them to change it.

It remains to be seen how both titles will perform later this year, but Battlefield 6 is undoubtedly looking strong, as the game has already become the best-selling game on Steam months before its launch.

Bringing back the realistic destruction from the old games of the franchise appears to be working out for the developers. Still, it’s hard to predict how both titles will perform at the launch.
